You need to keep a sense of humor about some things.

[Paul Mitchell @RepPaulMitchell]

@croosen48168 @detroitnews So how much are you contributing?

[Paul Mitchell @RepPaulMitchell]

How dare you find no evidence of systemic fraud in the election? How dare you not support “the steal”?

Republican Party is behaving the Jonestown cult!

A good guy and a great member of Congress.

We never imagined this could happen: an attack, by our own people, fostered and encouraged by those granted power through the very system they sought to overturn. But as I said in my opening remarks, these officers won—they held the line and defended our democracy.

“Why is telling the truth hard?”, Officer Dunn asks. Because the truth can be inconvenient to the dishonorable among us who allow the pursuit of power to take precedence over principle.

[Paul Mitchell @RepPaulMitchell]

The Jan 6 Special Committee begins work today. It should be a independent bipartisan commission like 9/11 commission but R’s scuttled that.

That day will be etched into my memory. Our symbol of representative democracy was being overrun by thugs trying to overturn election.

@jaketapper Not an insult but rather a compliment. It is her problem if she can’t define journalism.

[Paul Mitchell @RepPaulMitchell]

@UrbanAngel13 @RepHagedorn Thanks for the support and advice Cori.

.@RepHagedorn and all friends. I go on offense today against renal cancer and am sitting in my first immunotherapy session. Game on.

[Paul Mitchell @RepPaulMitchell]

@RepRiggleman @AdamKinzinger Oh well @RepRiggleman I doubt I made such a list when I was young and healthy… not so much now.

[Paul Mitchell @RepPaulMitchell]

@RepRiggleman @AdamKinzinger @RepRiggleman - I bet you can’t even find us on that list! HAha

[Paul Mitchell @RepPaulMitchell]

@annalise_frank Simply a more “polite” way to say FO.

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

We really need more than two political parties.

[Paul Mitchell @RepPaulMitchell]

.@RepJimBanks I was first surprised you would say this then dismayed. You joining the Trump crowd - why? Espousing the Stop the Steal does not reflect the man in joined Congress.

[The Hill @thehill]

.@RepJimBanks: "I will never be ashamed to say that Donald Trump is the most effective president of my lifetime."

[Paul Mitchell @RepPaulMitchell]

@newsGuy760 @RogerTh90055670 Trump could have been the leader of needed change in America- immigration and DACA, infrastructure, health care. But he NEVER built coalitions. His narcissism got in the way.

[Paul Mitchell @RepPaulMitchell]

US DOJ announced today that 45’s continuing to push the Big Lie and he and his acolytes claiming Trump will be reinstated without any election.

They note this rhetoric could lead to violent incidents in August.

Which 3rd world county are we becoming?

[Paul Mitchell @RepPaulMitchell]

@Not2PC44 Never. No Reagan signs?

[Paul Mitchell @RepPaulMitchell]

Any doubts the The Big Lie continues. These folks are here every Saturday.

[Paul Mitchell @RepPaulMitchell]

@MetodijaKoloski Thanks Meto. I owe you a long overdue phone call.

[Paul Mitchell @RepPaulMitchell]

I will continue my occasional political and policy posts. But most of my time and energy is fighting cancer as I have many friends that rely on this updates.

Returned to the hospital a couple of days and off to ICU. Some post surgical issues arose but getting out and home soon

[Paul Mitchell @RepPaulMitchell]

@CraigDMauger Well this will be fun to watch.
